Patrick Mahomes Could Make History Against Buffalo Bills
Ahead of the match-up, a significant statistic has emerged which presents that the star QB of Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of making history along with his franchise. If the Chiefs defeat the Bills for the Conference Title and advance to the Super Bowl LIX, then it will be Mahomes' fourth consecutive playoff victory over Josh Allen, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to register four consecutive wins over a counterpart of his.

Moreover, what leaves the odds in Mahomes' favour is that the match is scheduled to take place at Kansas City's home stadium of Arrowhead, a venue where they haven't lost since Christmas 2023.

Evenly Posed Set-Up for the AFC Championship
Considering that the Bills have tasted success against the Chiefs earlier in the season and on the other hand the K.V. have an intimidating record at home, it is difficult to gauge where this one is headed. Josh Allen, who would be aiming to avoid becoming a protagonist in Patrick Mahomes' history, is currently in the best form of his life, which has solidified him as the prime contender for this season's MVP award. Both the teams have delivered several classics in the recent past. Thus, if the norm continues then the fans and followers are in for an exciting night of football.
The AFC Championship game between the Chiefs and the Bills will take place on January 26, 2025.
